THE BENEFITS OF SELF STORAGE WHEN WORKING FROM HOME

Working from home used to be the dream for many, and now during these troubling times it has become the new normal. The explosion of advertising around technologies to connect teams and create a collaborative working space has made the move from office based work to a home based work environment pretty seamless.


Many workers have reported a better work - life balance, whilst many are happy with saving money on petrol and not being stuck in traffic on a daily basis and eliminating that long commute. Whatever sector you operate in, working from home will certainly have its benefits, and as we all settle in to our new routines, we have seen some issues arise that we feel we are in a position to help with.‍


We can’t solve every problem that you may encounter during this period. What we can do is give you some guidance on the services that we offer to support you.


Setting Up Your Home Office

With our self storage solutions, you can store whatever you need to create essential space for your new office. Whether its clearing out a room or making space in the shed, storing your belongings is the sensible choice in one of our water and fireproof units.


Our storage facilities give you the freedom to react to any changes that may occur through these troubling times, allowing you to swiftly take advantage of opportunities when they arise or limit damage if the situation is extended. Unlike commercial leases, you are not tied into lengthy contracts but can rent more or less storage units as and when you need to. Our short-term rolling contracts keep costs to a minimum and give you the flexibility to only use the space you need for the exact amount of time you need it.


Staying Organised And GDPR Compliant

It can be hard to stay organised when working from home, because all of your business things are amongst everything else. Having somewhere separate for your work things can be really useful. A space like self storage where you can visit, get files or information, and switch it with completed work, could be very handy.


Staying on top of your filing is very important, especially if handling documents of a legal nature or those that contains sensitive material. Files will naturally build up over time and our records management, and storage services ensure you are compliant with legal regulations – such as GDPR – as well as provide you with a secure space-saving solution for when your home office has limited space.


No space for stock?

A work from home setup is an excellent solution for running a business remotely, especially if you don't want to spend that much on a big space lease. Stock can take up a lot of space in the home, so if your work from home situation is causing you to have a lot of stock in your house, a self storage solution may be the perfect fit for you.


Ff you need to buy in bulk then you can have stock delivered to our facility. With our professional setup - which includes 24/7 access, CCTV surveillance and forklift trucks, your potential stock deliveries can be safely moved to your unit with complete peace of mind.


A Solution For Your Business

Our self storage solutions can help you work from home because it gives you room to grow. It enables you to utilise effective storage space without committing to warehouse space or office space. You can instead work from home whilst keeping your stock and other items in an affordable, flexible space.

Explore  strategies and  advice for keeping your motor home tidy with the help of self-storage.
By Élise Beudet 08 May, 2024
Motorhomes can be a lot of fun! They allow you to travel at your own pace, wherever you want and with whomever you want. Just like the name suggests, they are a smaller version of your home you can travel with and go on adventures with. The only slight downside of them is the limited space they offer. They can definitely make managing space efficiently a bit tricky. So, whether you're hitting the road for a quick weekend getaway or planning an epic cross-country journey, making the most of your motor home's limited square footage is key to a comfortable and fun trip. Luckily, with a sprinkle of creativity and some savvy decluttering strategies, you can optimise your space and travel lighter than ever before. Here are some tips to help you declutter your motor home and keep your sanity intact: Sort Through Your Stuff Let's start by taking a friendly stroll through your belongings. Take a good look at what you've got and ask yourself, "Do I really need this?" Separate your must-haves from the nice-to-haves to streamline your packing process and create more room for adventure. Think Vertical In the cosy confines of a motor home, every inch counts. Get friendly with your walls by installing shelves, hooks, and organisers to maximise vertical space. This clever trick not only frees up precious floor real estate but also keeps your essentials within arm's reach. Choose Furniture Wisely When it comes to furniture, it's all about being friendly to your space. Opt for pieces that pull double duty, like a table with hidden storage or a sofa that moonlights as a bed. By choosing multifunctional furniture, you'll make your motor home feel friendlier and more functional. Downsize Your Wardrobe We all know that feeling of having too many clothes and nothing to wear. Keep your wardrobe fuss-free by packing only the essentials and embracing mix-and-match versatility. Bonus points for lightweight fabrics that play nice with limited storage space. Keep Decor Simple When it comes to decor, less is definitely more in the world of motor home living. Choose friendly decor items that serve a purpose or bring a smile to your face, and steer clear of cluttering up your surfaces with unnecessary knick-knacks. Think sleek storage solutions and space-saving goodies to keep things cosy yet clutter-free. Stay on Top of Maintenance A little friendly maintenance goes a long way in keeping your motor home shipshape. Take a few minutes each day to tidy up and put things back where they belong. By staying on top of maintenance tasks, you'll keep clutter at bay and maintain a welcoming atmosphere on your travels. Pack with Purpose Packing for a motor home adventure is all about thinking about your future self. Choose lightweight, multipurpose items that pull their weight on the road, and invest in space-saving travel gear like collapsible kitchenware and vacuum-sealed storage bags. With a friendly packing strategy, you'll be ready for whatever the road throws your way. Consider Self-Storage As you embark on your journey to declutter your motor home, consider the convenience and flexibility of self-storage. For items that you don't need on every trip but can't bear to part with, a self-storage unit offers the perfect solution. Whether it's seasonal clothing, bulky furniture, or sentimental keepsakes, self-storage provides a secure home away from home. With Flexible Storage, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your belongings are safe and accessible whenever you need them. So, as you streamline your motor home for lighter travels, let self-storage be your trusted travel companion. With these decluttering tips, you'll be well on your way to lighter, brighter motor home travels. Here's to making room for more memories and embracing the joy of the open road!
